Welcome

I started this blog in 2010 when there were 11 weeks to go before my next Ironman triathlon. People have found it interesting (mainly my Mum!) so I continue to write.
The Ironman is a long distance triathlon; Swim 2.4miles, Cycle 112miles, Run 26.2 miles (marathon). I have competed in one every year since 2004. I hope this blog can help others see what is involved. I find the process of writing it makes me more accountable and motivates me to do the harder sessions when i'm not feeling like it!

Turbo

Tripple 3's
Warm up 10mins
all at 250W - 3min 90rpm, 3min 65rpm, 3min out of saddle (55rpm)
then 50W 3min easy spinning recovery
x 5

Great to finish the decorating and get rid of the lethargy that seems to come with it. This session is a favourite of Gordo Bryn the one who writes "going long" - i've been wanting to try it out for a while.

It's easy to see getting out of the saddle is costly - a jump in heart rate for the same work. 

Still feeling like I should be doing a long run. Maybe tomorrow? The plan was to use the marathon as a long run. Getting a 18-20mile run in once every 4 weeks would then keep that side of things ticking along.
